The one I'm surprised about not making a comeback, though? Split Decision. It was played a couple of time right towards the very end of the late '90s version (with three guesses and Larry pulling the numbers down to stop the broken-set issues that plagued the original)

Another lasting impression was the video of that playing on Tony Harrison's site. Maybe he was just joking or being sarcastic when he subtitled the video "This is why Split Decision was retired" on his page (or he also believed the prop was prone to numbers falling off).

Just came across a "Where are they now" segment of a TV show broadcast earlier in 2011 that featured a shot of the Aussie Switcheroo prop. This was different to the one used on the 1990 Ian Turpie version.

I am fairly sure the dots lit up green on the prices they got right at the end.

That behind-the-scenes report on Youtube claims the Turpie version had "33 different games". I've managed to confirm 28 of them from various sources, but the last five are unknown. It's also possible that (1) they're counting the Big Wheel, Double Bullseye, and the Showcase in the tally and that (2) more games were added after the report was shown. But for now, this is as close as we're going to get to a list of the Aussie pricing games:

A few things to note though:1. Push Over isn't the same as the US game.2. When Larry took over, Lucky Seven was renamed One Dollar Deal. It looks likely Double Prices was renamed 2 Price Tags at the same time.3. Mystery Price and Split Decision both debuted after they were retired in the US. Split Decision used the "three chances" rule.4. Most of the car games where free digits were added when five-digit prices became common were kept as four-digit prize games; the only exceptions were Switcheroo (which became a four-digit prize game despite the extra digit not mattering), Lucky Seven (where the player had to guess all five digits), and Temptation (which kept the free digit but compensated by making the game much harder, with three different digits in most of the prices). Hole in One never added the "...or Two".
